Deadline looms for new proposals

The deadline for proposals for the new EU R&D framework program for 2007 to 2013 (FP7) is 8 May 2007. ICT for Health (eHealth) is heavily involved in this new call for proposals, with the following priorities: personal health systems for monitoring and point-of-care diagnostics, risk assessment and patient safety, and virtual physiological human. You will find more information on FP7 on the following website: cordis.europa.eu/fp7/home_en.html. More specific information about information society technologies is available on cordis.europa.eu/fp7/ict/.

The EU R&D program is open for international collaboration. There are restrictions, however, on the possibilities to get EU funding for groups from industrialized countries such as Japan.
